Audi Q4 e-tron Prestige 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

While the 2024 Q4 e-tron sports the modern vibe we've come to expect from Audi, it doesn't really stand out from its EV competition. It's not the quickest, most comfortable or most efficient choice in the class. But it's also vice-free, making it an easy EV to drive and live with. If that checks the boxes for you, then it's worth a look.Read full review

2024 Audi Q4 e-tron Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Appealing design
55 version's competitive range and charging times
Roomy passenger space

Cons

Older 40 and 50 versions have disappointing driving range and acceleration
Less cargo room than other rival electric SUVs

What's new

Midyear update for all Q4s
New 55 version has more range and power, better charging, improved steering and suspension
Part of the first Q4 e-tron generation introduced for 2022

Overview

The 2024 Q4 e-tron is the least expensive electric vehicle in Audi's lineup, slotting under the Q8 e-tron SUV and e-tron GT sedan. Compared to the Q8 e-tron, the Q4 measures about a foot shorter in length, though passenger and cargo space is only marginally smaller. Underneath, it shares some of its underpinnings with the related Volkswagen ID.4, but the Q4 e-tron has a luxurious interior design with premium materials to justify its price. There's also a sleeker Sportback version that is reviewed separately.

Edmunds spotlight: The midyear release of the Q4 55 e-tron

Audi simplified the 2024 Q4 e-tron model lineup halfway through the model year and made some significant improvements along the way. It discontinued the previous 40 and 50 e-tron versions and replaced them with a new 55 e-tron. That bigger number means all Q4 55s are all-wheel-drive and have more power, better range, quicker DC fast charging, and improved steering and suspension. It also includes the updates made earlier to the 2024 Q4 e-tron, including standard adaptive cruise with lane centering and steering wheel paddles to adjust the amount of regenerative braking. The upgrades for the 55 version address some of our previous complaints about the Q4, so keep your eyes open for those when you're shopping because you'll want to get a 55 instead of the older 40 or 50 models.

Competitors to consider

Among small electric SUVs, the Audi Q4 e-tron has a handful of direct rivals. The Tesla Model Y gains an advantage for range and performance, but it comes up short in regard to comfort and build quality. We're more partial to the Mercedes-Benz EQB, though the range isn't much better than the Audi's. It seems as though the new Volvo EX30 may be the EV to beat in 2024, as its low price and high range will be difficult to match. Outside of the luxury class, we'd also consider the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Q4 e-tron's corporate cousin, the Volkswagen ID.4.

Good

7.7

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Q4 e-tron drive? The Q4 50 e-tron, which is what we tested, feels quick and has tidy and responsive handling. It's also a champ in parking lots and at U-turns thanks to its incredibly tight turning radius. So why does it lag behind much of the pack here? Ultimately, the Q4 just doesn't offer the kind of power or strong regenerative braking to match its peers.

With the Q4 50 e-tron, you get an additional front electric motor for a sizable boost of speed and traction over the single-motor rear-wheel-drive 40 e-tron model. At our test track, the 50 e-tron accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. That's quick by most measures, but the Q4's current direct competition is over a second quicker.

Regenerative braking, the process by which a vehicle can use its motors to slow and recoup some of its spent energy, is lighter in the Q4 than we'd like. You can dial the strength up or down depending on your preferences using the steering wheel paddles, though we'd wish the strongest setting was more aggressive. There is also no full one-pedal driving, in that the Q4 will not come to a complete stop using regen braking alone. For some experienced EV drivers, this will be a disappointment. Our measured panic-stopping distances from 60 mph were also a bit longer than expected for a luxury electric vehicle.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Q4 e-tron? The Q4 delivers an acceptable level of comfort across the board but won't likely wow you in any particular way. Its greatest quality is a quiet cabin. Our test vehicle had the optional sound-reducing windows, and noises entering the cabin were minimized exceptionally well.

Disappointingly, the ride quality and the seats do little to impress. The front seats lack lateral support and feel just a tad flat. Seat ventilation is not currently an option. We initially thought the Q4 did an admirable job of softening bumps in the road, but on some bumpier sections of highway, it didn't mask its movements all that well, resulting in a busy, choppy ride.

The climate control is easy to set and did a good job of maintaining our target temperature in testing. The air vents are simple and manually adjustable, though the position of the driver's side vents point directly at your hands when they're on the wheel.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the Q4 is a definite highlight. The cabin is easy to slip into and offers generous space and great outward visibility for occupants once inside. Headroom is plentiful, and even people well over 6 feet will fit in the rear row. The floor is also flat in back, making legroom feel even more abundant.

The Q4 recognizes when the key is present so you can just get in and go — no need to power the vehicle on with a button first. Audi's touchscreen menu is not the easiest to navigate, but in the realm of touchscreen controls these are better than others and certainly a huge upgrade from what's in the closely related Volkswagen ID.4. Our biggest gripe involves the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls. They're not as easy to use as the old buttons and we fumbled inputs a few times.

Build & Price

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Audi typically offers a strong tech package and it was no different in our test vehicle. Our Prestige trim test vehicle benefited from the upgraded Audi Virtual Cockpit, which displays a handy navigation map right in your gauge cluster. This trim also features a new augmented reality head-up display, which projects your turn-by-turn directions on the windshield, which we found pretty neat. The Q4 also has the first audio system tuned by Sonos. Sound quality was good, though we didn't find it particularly special in any way.

There are plenty of USB ports on board plus an optional wireless charger as well as wireless and wired smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Audi's voice control system understands some natural language, allowing you to adjust the climate control and make all the usual common commands. But it's not quite as advanced as some of the newest voice recognition systems in other brands.

A comprehensive suite of driver aids is included in the Premium Plus trim level and up, and the aids are very well tuned. We particularly like that Audi's system can sense when you have a hand on the wheel and doesn't require that you jiggle it every so often just to prove you're still there. The only thing we're missing is a surround-view camera, which most competitors offer.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The Q4 offers a decent amount of space for cargo, though others simply offer more. There's 24.8 cubic feet of space available behind the rear seat, which is comparable to the Genesis GV60 but can't compete with the Tesla Model Y and its 30.2 cubic feet. And this doesn't even include the Tesla's 4.1-cubic-foot front trunk, something the Q4 doesn't have. We do like that you can fold the rear seatbacks flat and have the flexibility to fold the rear seat in three sections.

If child safety seats are a part of your life, we found there to be a good amount of space for them in the back seats, and we like how the LATCH covers slide up out of the way rather than pop out, which is usually the first step to losing them. There are three top tether anchors on the back of each seat so you can fit a seat in any of the positions.

Storage for small items in the cabin is also decent but not amazing. There's a pretty sizable rubberized spot for personal effects right underneath the gear selector, and the center armrest bin is pretty deep even if it is square-shaped. The integrated bottle holders in the doors are clean, simple and functional.

Range and Efficiency

7/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates that the 2022 Q4 50 e-tron Quattro, which is the one we tested, has a range of 241 miles on a full charge. (It's worth noting that the 2023 model has an official EPA range of 236 miles.) Both model years are reported to use 36 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles traveled. Neither figure is particularly impressive. But on the Edmunds EV Range Test, our 2022 test model traveled 270 miles, nearly 30 miles more than its EPA estimate, and needed only 31.3 kWh of energy for every 100 miles. (Remember that the lower the kWh figure here, the better.)

This range should be enough for most EV buyers, and it was comparable to what the Genesis GV60 returned, though both were well behind the Tesla Model Y Long Range. However, if you factor in the difference in power between the Q4 and most other EVs in this class, the range and efficiency are a bit less impressive.

As far as charging goes, the Q4 e-tron is capable of DC quick charging at a rate of 150 kW, which is decent. Under optimal conditions, Audi estimates you'll be able to go from 5% to 80% battery charge in 36 minutes if quick charging. By comparison, using the right charging stations and under ideal conditions, the Model Y would take about 27 minutes, and the GV60 around 18 minutes to achieve the same battery charge.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Q4 e-tron a good value? In its single-motor form, the Q4 e-tron has a lower cost of entry than most of its luxury competition. When it's fully optioned up, the Q4's price aligns with its peers, though at that level it doesn't offer quite the same power or level of features.

Audi always does a nice job with interior design, and it helps to elevate the look and feel of the car. The Q4's interior feels thoroughly modern but there are parts of it, like the plastic on the center console and wood trim pieces, that look a bit low-budget. So ultimately, we think the Q4 offers relatively average value for the money. The Q4's warranty and roadside assistance coverage are solidly average as well.

Wildcard

7.5/10

We think most people will find the Q4 e-tron mildly fun to drive. "Mild" also applies to the Q4's exterior design. It's not pushing any boundaries or starting any trends, but it's also not offensive or trendy. It's pleasant enough to look at but few people are going to give it a second glance.

Which Q4 e-tron does Edmunds recommend?

In the middle of 2024 Audi simplified the Q4 lineup to a single model, the 55. All 55 models come standard with all-wheel drive, so buyers no longer have to decide between rear- or all-wheel drive. With all that said, we think the midrange Premium Plus trim hits a sweet spot, which includes a lot of desirable features for a reasonable price increase over the base model.
